'But your mum is your mum, and I still wanted her to be there for me.’Joanne had grown up caring for her younger sister Cath and brother Chris, who were more than a decade younger than her. While visiting Bernadette, Cath noticed a putrid smell coming from her mother’s bedroom and decided to investigate when Bernadette went to the shops. When Joanne went round to pick up some clothes for her mum, she discovered the same red bin still in her wardrobe. Joanne, Cath and Chris were arrested on suspicion of involvement, but the charges were later dropped. ‘My mum had a terrible, terrible life.’Joanne and Cath arranged a funeral for their four silent sisters.
